Robert Greenwald on ABC News

[dealmeidaable]

The only way the Bush white house was gonna be able to keep the number of soldiers down in order to avoid having a draft. The fact that Cheney stood to make millions as one of Haliburtons CEO's was certainly not by accident but I believe first and foremost it was to avoid a draft. The American people would never have gone along with the war if a draft had been implemented.

[metroidprimeribs]

Regan fundamentals support a strong government run military, and not this new age abomination that are private contractors. Some Republicans might as well be affiliated with another party the way they go about mixing what Regan said should be the government's duty into the private sector and vice versa.

[metroidprimeribs]

Democrats and fellow conservative Republicans alike need to stop playing politics. Realize there is the same black and white picture both of us could see clearly. All this ignorant; it's right so it's good, or it's left so I'm voting yes, leads our country no where. War profiteering is wrong considering it's taking advantage of our soldier's lives, our tax payer dollars, and privately operating armies are too endangering to exist.

ABC reports on the movie, but they don't do any investigation into it's contents. if they were worth anything, they would look into the allegations for themselves. all of the news media is arrogant,lazy, and worthless.

[tom500k]

What a cruel joke on the troops! ABC news shilling for the war profiteers who endanger the troops.

Shame! Shame! Shame!

[cjkaylor]

wow, abc has joined the ranks of fox news.

[mugshotesp]

dum dum dum dum dum! yes, another right wing network that has fallen to the idiocy of dumb fox news. that is how they all are.

[kazooga1234]

it has a lot to do with being paid off if they r paid enough they will give in at 4am fox accually dissed bush in december i was back in mass watching fox at 4am and they said that he was a incompitent as well as bashing other evil republicans it was accually refreshing and funny

[AmericanLeather]

Yeah...ABC news (owned by Disney) are right. Whats wrong with profiting off an occupation. Prescott Bush (George W's Grandfather) did it through WW2 selling iron to, you guessed it, the Germans. Was even indicted for it. Though never convicted. Niether will his grandson im afraid.

[tedbohne]

YOU ignorant bastard. What's wrong with privateers? well, it's YOUR MONEY THEY'RE STEALING. Your's and other taxpayers. This "war" which is lost to the US has been a BONANZA to profit grubbing fuckers. Jesus, try breathing a little more often to get some oxygen to your small brain, you dumb motherfucker!

[volumptuous]

How can anyone feel divided about this?

Blackwater is a civilian mercenary agency, and operates on the outside of US and international law. They follow no military codes of conduct, and are paid 5-10x what the US military does, doing the same thing.

They are a civilian company, and as such they also operate outside of the area of Congress, and have repeatedly been subpeonaed on ethical and criminal matters.

BW CEO is one of the biggest donors to the presidential campaign of George W. Bush.

[patfromlogan]

Cheney Satan '08!!!

[highsummer]

What an unbiased report from ABC. So refreshing!

[cotterperson]

The national debt is $28,000 per person at this time, and rising. It's going into these guys pockets, soaked with the blood of innocents. "Cheney's Halliburton stock rose more than 3,000% last year." That's at tusconweekly in a story dated Oct 2005. Whatever do you guess it is now?

[asyuraworld]

does the FACT change only because the messenger is a left wing? go see for yourself before you judge. if it's not so powerful, why they bother to report don't they?

[cardboardhut]

I like how ABC has to put something in at the end insinuating that this film is factually dubious because it has a left-wing director. I guess that's what they call objectivity.

[GrumpyMonkeys]

Yeah, I noticed the smarmy comments, too. "The Left has found an answer to talk radio?" WTF? This is about people dying because of the ongoing prostitution of our government by corporate CEOs and their insulated little politicians protecting them.

[Junkyone]

I am no Bush fan, but this guy is a fruitcake, and Fox News is really refreshing after years of left wing only.

[rockondon]

fox news is so rediculous,they still think wtc bldg 7

fell because of a small fire ha its never happened

isnt the owner a israelly zionist?

[stonecast]

You're not a Bush fan yet you like Fox? You must think Bush isn't conservative enough or that he's just kinda dumb. Maybe you don't like how he didn't plan good enough. But I'm sure you're brainwa... I mean a neocon.

[etoy66]

uiuiui, god bless abc anchors for not peeing their pants on this politics stuff....

[stanleycup10]

go see this movie..

[ares213]

When I was in Iraq, we had KBR (subsidiary of Halliburton) contractors who did nothing but sit in the gym all day. These same people earned over $100,000.00 a year tax free.
